What Leading Society Women VIII Wear
During the Heated Term.
A new idea in Jerseys is low-necked
and short-sleeved one embroidered
with beads.
Another fabric very popular at the
seaside is heavy quality of wrinkled
cheese-cloth in delicate evening shades
They are trimmed with numerous rows
of narrow watered ribbon, and pro-
duce good effects in draping.
Point d'esprit is much used for sum-
mer evening gowns, not only in white
but the new colored sorts that come in
shades of green. heliotrope, porcelain
blue and old pink. The narrow wa
tered ribbon is favorite trimming ON
these frocks also.
For wearing to the beach for the
morning bath gowns easily put off and
on are selected. A pretty one was of
soft, light weight, cream colored fan
mel, simply draped and trimmed with
wide Hercules braid. The bodice was
a loose belted waist of flannel, with
fine blue lines through it, made with a
sailor collar opening over shirt of
white flannel.
A novel design for cloaks for trav-
cling or coaching is copied from the
cloaks of the Irish peasant women and
envelop the wearer from head to foot
They are made of six or seven breadths
of twilled silk gathered to velvet
sleeves, but the front breadths are
doubled from the foot up and the arms
pass out between the doubled fronts;
ribbon belt attached to the two back
seams forms them into the waist.
These cloaks are shown in brown,
gray or navy-blue silk, striped with
hair lines of ecru or red, and are
shirred into the velvet collar. Thin
silks made waterproof are made up
in this design for rain or dust cloaks.
Other travelling cloaks OF gray cancels
hair or serge are made up with much
closer shape and are trimmed with
three rows of dull silver galloon.
Dark, cross-barred homespuns in
shades of ecru and brown are made up
as ulster and travelling cap for use in
ocean voyaging.
The tailors are making coats for use
in yachting and coaching of soft,
loosely-woven woolens with herring
bone stripes like chuddah. These have
loose fronts, held by band or girdle
fas tened with silver clasp. while the
back is adj listed in long plaits, begin
ming at the collar. A cape or hood is
worn with these garments; they are
made up in fawn color with heliotrope
silk facing. or in gray-blue with dark
navy blue silk. They reach to the
heel and wholly protect the garments
underneath.
Travelling dresses for summer jour-
neys by rail or steamer are made of
lustrous mohairs. either in shades of
French gray or gray and white stripes,
stripes of fawn and white, blue and
white, or solid dark blue. Some of
these dresses are braided with picot
braid in flower patterns. while others
have only stitching. Some of these
mohair travelling gowns. made for
brides, have been trimmed with the
many rows of narrow MORE ribbon so
popular just now. With them are
worn little, close bonnets of gray
straw. trimmed with Russian tulle and
clusters of red carnations, forget-me-
nots or bluettes.
That cobwebby Indian silk fabric
that used to be known years ago as
pineapple gauze'' is to be reintro-
duced under the name of ''sunshiny,''
and comes with the edge lined with
with five or six rows on the edge more
closely woven than the rest. This is
torn off in lengthwise stripes. and
serves, unhemmed for the founces. A
pretty black dress of this ga,ize had a
full, plain skirt with the stripes run
ming lengthwise about it. Another
full skirt over it was draped little,
and in the back was sash of the
palest pink MORE, the ribbon sixteen
inches in width. The waist was laced
up the back, and pointed both back
and front, was half low in the neck
and lined with folds of pale pink crepe
lisse; the sleeves were unlined and
were filed at the arm-hold, held in at
the elbow with five rows of narrow,
pink MORE ribbon.
The English girls are wearing frocks
of white organdy and sheer null, made
with voluminous draperies and all the
edges stitched. These frocks have
big bishops sleeves, which come down
full nearly to the waist and held there
by a band of ribbon. a full frill falling
about the waist. The neck is cut half
low, with a wide frill of lace gathered
on the edge and falling downward.
after the fashion of our mothers
'berthas." Around the throat English
girls wear with these dresses tight
necklace of amber. or gold beads. or
imitation pearls Immediately beneath
the chin. This, however. is only be-
coming to those who have very round,
full throats that are not too long.
